You Tube for content marketing

You Tube for content marketing | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Let’s talk about You Tube for content marketing purposes. As much as I dislike video I still do it, and there are some people that say You Tube is the new TV… heck I even have a weekly social media hangout, so I totally get why you need  to be video marketing.


In case you’re not aware… YouTube is owned by Google and videos appear high in search results. So if you’re struggling to get on the front page of Google for a competitive phrase then video will help.


YouTube is better than TV because it’s free and user-driven. This is an extremely valuable tool for spreading brand awareness online. Next to blogging, You Tube has a low cost to entry in some instances (like blogging), all you need is a web cam, a script and a You Tube Channel....

YouTube vs. Vimeo: Which Is Better for B2B Marketing?

YouTube vs. Vimeo: Which Is Better for B2B Marketing? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Here are the pros & cons of each, as well as factors B2B marketers should consider for their video content marketing strategies!...


Your audience should be as wide as possible, but B2B companies should have targets in mind – namely, other businesses. What kind of site will attract your target organizations? YouTube unquestionably provides an opportunity for broader viewership with top brands averaging 884,000 monthly views. Although Vimeo draws fewer sets of eyes, you have less competition, so it may be the more appropriate outlet, depending on your industry.
